To ensure that a wide range of learners in any given class can find useful words to learn in each unit, the inclusion of words does not strictly adhere to each 1000-word level. However, there is a progression from the first 1000 words to the fourth 1000 words through the books in the series. Table 1 shows the levels of the books. Table 1: The books in the 4000 ESSENTIAL ENGLISH WORDS series, frequency levels, and CEFR levels

Supporting Learning with Other Activities A well-balanced language course provides four major opportunities for learning: learning through input, learning through output, deliberate learning, and fluency development. The highly structured activities in these books support all four types of learning opportunities. Learning can further be supported through the following activities: 1. Have students create vocabulary cards with one word from the unit on one side of t he card and the translation of the word in the student's first language on the other side. Students should use the cards for study in free moments during the day. Over several weeks, st udents will find that quick repeated studying for brief periods of time is more effective than studying for hours at one sitting. 2. Assign graded readers at appropriate levels. Reading such books provides both enjoyment as well as meaning-focused input, which will improve student recall of the words. 3. Practice reading fluency to promote faster recall o f word meaning for both sight recognition and usage. Compass Publishing's Reading for Speed and Fluency is an invaluable resource for reading fluency material. 4. Include listening, speaking, and writing activities in classes. Reinforcement of the high-frequency vocabulary presented in this series is important across all four language skills.
